Dance Around the Maypole
Inspired by Wind Up Wind Down (December 2021), This is the first in a set of killer cage puzzles of increasing difficulty. If you start at the upper left corner, you'll find you can weave your way around the puzzle, intertwining clues until you wind up at the center. This puzzle also appears in the Brassica Collection.
Estimated difficulty: 1/5
Rules
Standard sudoku rules apply. Within cages, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner.
All Around My Hat
Slightly harder than Dance Around the Maypole, this is the second in a set of killer cage puzzles of increasing difficulty. At each step, look around the grid for cages that have only one possible pair of digits. This puzzle also appears in the Brassica Collection.
Estimated difficulty: 1.5/5
Rules
Standard sudoku rules apply. Within cages, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner.
Outward Expansion
Slightly harder than Dance Around the Maypole, this is the third in a set of killer cage puzzles of increasing difficulty. Instead of starting at the outer corner and weaving your way in, try starting in the center and working your way out. This puzzle also appears in the Brassica Collection.
Estimated difficulty: 1.5/5
Rules
Standard sudoku rules apply. Within cages, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner.
Down the Drain
As with Dance Around the Maypole, we recommend you start at the upper left corner and spiral your way inwards to the center. However, this puzzle is sufficiently much harder than Around the Maypole that we have placed it in the GAS Collection rather than the Brassica Collection.
Estimated difficulty: 2/5
Rules
Standard sudoku rules apply. Within cages, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner.
